What is the Boys’ Brigade?    

We are one of the biggest Christian Youth Organisations in the UK & Republic of Ireland.

We have faith in young people and provide opportunities for children and young people to learn, grow and discover in a safe, fun and caring environment which is rooted in the Christian faith.

There’s something for every young person whether it’s camping or kayaking, first aid or five a side, music or crafts. Members develop skills, build confidence, make friends, take responsibility and are encouraged to make a real difference in their communities – sharing the values that make us who we are.

When did the Boys’ Brigade start?

The Boys’ Brigade was founded in Glasgow on the 4th October 1883 by William Alexander Smith.
